VIAVI Solutions introduced the EdgeGM 7000, a resilient Edge Grandmaster Clock thats build on the SecurePNT portfolio, which leads the industry. For the most complete assurance of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services utilized in critical infrastructure operations globally, EdgeGM 7000 provides up to 25G Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and multi-orbit SecureTimeSM altGNSSSM. From March 3–6, 2025, this solution will be on display at VIAVI Stand 5A18 in Hall 5 during MWC Barcelona.
In order to efficiently synchronize data based on timing and location, essential networks worldwide, such as 5G/6G telecommunications, AI hyperscale data centers, defense, public safety, transportation, aviation, energy, and finance, depend on publicly available GPS and GNSS signals.
With potentially disastrous results, these weak, single-source communications are sometimes inaccessible, susceptible to jamming or spoofing, or even the satellites themselves may be assaulted. Governments everywhere have started requiring critical infrastructure providers to use PNT services more responsibly in order to increase the resilience of their networks.
With multisource assurance that combines signals from GNSS-dependent government and GNSS-independent commercial constellations across Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO), and Low Earth Orbit (LEO), respectively, VIAVI’s SecurePNT and SecureTime provide the most reliable timing available in the market.
With scalable software choices, the EdgeGM 7000 is a small rack-mountable device that is half 19″ wide and 1U high, combining superior and scalable resiliency and PTP speed capabilities.
For example, GNSS backup can be triggered with an on-demand alternate GNSS GEO-L source license over the air, and it can be increased from 1/10G to 25G PTP with a basic license.
The IEEE P1252 standard’s Level 4 PNT resilience is surpassed by EdgeGM. Additionally, it includes PTP profiles for a number of industries, such as enterprise, power, telecommunications, and more.
Leadership Comments
“The world has seen a steady rise in threats to critical infrastructure, including disruption to the Positioning, Navigation and Timing services that are so vital to secure operations,” said Doug Russell, Senior Vice President, AvComm, VIAVI. “With the EdgeGM 7000, VIAVI is enhancing our portfolio to stay ahead of a rapidly evolving threat landscape, providing customers with the industry’s most powerful features in a flexible and scalable architecture.”
